Default Euro Tail Lights

Anyone have pictures of their Euro Tails, especially red with clear lenses installed on a silver C5? Please post pics or send to spdnman@netzero.net

Thanks.

I'm surprised they don't come that way from the factory. The amber turn signal is so much easier to see and distinguish from brake lights (assuming I'm defining Euro lights correctlyl). And it's not just European ... my Jeep has amber turn signals. Quite a few American cars do, and so do most Japanese cars.

I just installed a set last night, looks incredible.
They should come factory!!
I'll get some pics asap, but I'm sure you'll find some pics with a simple google search. If not, photoshop them in and see what it looks like. I usually photoshop any future mods on to pics of my car to see what it looks like, rims,spoilers,lights etc...it's the best way to not be dissapointed!!!!

I'll ask again....are you guys really putting Euros on Vette's? If so I don't understand how as Euros are usually an assembly of turn lights and brake lights molded into one piece, unless I'm thinking of the wrong thing.

Wow, I just walked outside and saw a black LT-1 with all clear Euros, what a quwink-adink. I don't like the all clear ones but the ones that Evil-Twin is sporting are pretty hot.

Yeah, you bet, it's a very popular mod. Vendors sell kits that are pretty much plug and play.

Although my Vette's not silver, here's a pic of mine. If you get the red/clear, make sure to also get the chrome bulbs.

I've got these on my pewter car, but unfortunately do not have a pic here at work. I can send you a pic tonight. BTW, they look great on the car.

I bought the chrome (titanium) bulbs from trucknvans.com, part # TITAN3157A. The chrome bulbs gets rid of the "egg yolk" look that you get with the stock amber bulbs.

The white portions light up when you use your turn signals, not when you brake.
